As part of the campervan conversion it now has a pop top roof (so can sleep four and gives loads of headroom when not being used as a bed), RIB bed, solar panel, two gas hobs, sink (with 57-litre underslung water tank), microwave, fridge, diesel heater, spinning front "captains" seats, two tables, bamboo kitchen surfaces, oak effect flooring, numerous USB and power sockets, wireless charger, shower point, awning (with exterior light), front body kit, side bars, and 20" inch alloys. It's powered by the 2.0-litre diesel engine, sending 150bhp through a DSG gearbox.
We've just returned from our second weekend away in it and it's fair to say that it's everything we hoped it would be. These vans aren't for everyone but the ability to pack up and leave in just a few minutes before heading to a new location makes going away more fun than simply staying in a single location in a hotel room. I should also say that I think most people would be stunned how usable the space inside actually is (I certainly was). Two adults and two children really isn't an issue (just make sure you stay somewhere with showers and toilets!).
Upgrades await. I've already added a dashcam and switched out the side indicators for smoked sequential units (see first and last pictures) but the first major one is a big audio upgrade in a few weeks. As someone who loves quality sound, the stock setup is dismal!
Finally, shout out to Cambridge Campervans who supplied and converted the van. They were very helpful throughout the process and I have no hesitation in recommending them if you're looking for something similar.
